Baltimore County's Jail and Aims
House.-Mr. G. S. Griffith, president of the Mary
land Prisoners Aid Association, lately made q
visit of inspection to the Baltimore county Jail
and alms-house and in his report to the associa-
ton says:
''I visited the Baltimore county Jail and aims
house on the 22d instant, accompanied by Rev. L.
F. Znkhan. The Jail at Towsontown a substan-
tial stone structure containing twenty -four cells,
had thirty six inmates, of whom three were col
ored women. One of the latter is charged with
robbery. Ofthe male prisoners, three are charged
with murder, one with attempt to rape, and an
other with pulling out horses tongue. The
other prisoners are held for trifing ofenses. One
of them, Polander, is insane. Quite a number
of prisoners were discharged within the last few
days by the grand jury. I found the Jail clean
and the prisoners well cared for. The inmates
are given the freedom of the corridor several hours
each day, for exercise. The remainder of the
time they are locked in their cells. 1 commend
this plan because it not only facilitates good
order and discipline, but prevents largely the con-
slant commingling of prisoners, which is often
demoralizing in the extreme. l held short re-
ligous service, and was we'll pleased with the close
-ttol;.oz and appreciation manifested by the in
mates. Baltimore county is far in advance of the
other counties in our state, in that its County
Commissioners manifest warm interest in the
moral and religious needs of the prisoners and
paupers of the county. They have appointed two
chapains for the Jail and almshouse, who hold re-
ligious services every Sunday. Rev. P. Milburn
and J. L. Elderdice oficate alternately at the Jail
assisted by VIM. S. Keech and Mrs. Crane. Silas
V. Miller is sheriff.
"The county almshouse, beautiful structure
located near Texas, has ninety-two inmates. OF
these, eleven are colored and twenty-seven are
weak-minded or insane. We saw but two chill
dren. This is a smaller number than in former
years. Mr.. W. II. W. Reed, superintendent, and
DIR. Charles R. Whiteford, physician, have had
charge of the institution for number of years
The fidelity and efficiency of these officers are
we'll attested by the condition of the inmates the
cleanliness of the buildings, and the admir- Idle
farming. We found two insane inmates in one
room for whose care and treatment the institution
does not provide proper accommodations. The
County Commissioners should either provide AIDE
quate facilities for the comfort and care of such
insane patients as need more than ordinary atten
ton or else place them, as they do many of theil
other insane, in an insane asylum. The chap
lains of the almshouse are Revs. P. H. Lanaghar
| and A. T. Pindell, whose faithful ministration
| ORC hiohlv annreciated by the inmStes."

The Late Mr.. Wilhelm. referring to the
death of Mr.. Artemus Wilhelm, which occurred on
the 10Th ult., the Lebanon (Pa.) Courier says:
"He had been confined to his room for few days,
suffering from the results of severe dyspepsia,
which had troubled him for years. Mr. Wilhelm
was born in Baltimore county, Nd, in 1922 He
came to Cornwall back in the fifties, young man,
and was employed at the Cornwall furnaces as a
builder. He soon attracted the attention of Mr..
Robert w. Coleman, and was rapidly promoted in
connection with Mr.. Coleman's business, becoming
his confidential and general manager. On the
death of Mr.. Coleman, in 1865, he became manager
of that large estate and continued in that position
until the male heirs became of age, when he pur-
chased the Paxtang estate and also an elegant res
idence in York, living at the former place in the
Summers and at the latter place in the Winters.
He was widely known among the business men of
the State, and was regarded as man of very high
business qualities. He was connected with many
business institutions. He had large interest in
the Chesapeake Nail Works and the Central Iron
Works at Harrisburg, and was director OF the
Guarantee, Trust and Safe Deposit Company, of
the same city. He was also president of the State
Agricultural Society, and did great deal for its
promotion. Until recently he was director in the
Valley National Bank of Lebanon, which he de-
sired to be relieved from on account Of the incon-
venience of attending the weekly meetings of the
board of directors. He was gentleman OF fine
social qualities, was generous in his hospitality
and enjoyed the company of his many friends
He leaves widow, son and two daughters"

Uncertain Trotters.-Mr. II. P. Lucas, who
writes the "horse notes. for the Sunday American,
refers to a trotter of uncertain temper that can
never be depended on, and adds "The same
may be said of Orange Bloom, though for another
reason. She trailed in at Easton in every heat,
though with speed enough to give the flag to every
one Of her competitors in the first heat. Merri-
field, her driver, was unfortunate in being in the
rear of all the others each time the word given,
and never being able to keep the mare level long
enough to make up the distance. Orange Bloom
is about as uncertain as the weather, and is one
of those animals that can neither be backed or
betted against, being liable at any time to upset
the poo-boxes and break all combinations. If
she has everything in her favor, perfectly smooth
mile track like Pimco, and if she feels like trOt-
ting she is liable to win in straight heats but then
again she is just as liable to get the flag under
precisely the same conditions. Almost the same
NAV be said of the stud Garrison"

Sheep Killed by Dogs.-Mr. Frank Smith,
a farmer near Sunnybrook, 10th district, has had
nine sheep killed by dogs within the last couple
of weeks. Determined to catch the dogs that did
the work, he built pen of rails, narrow at the
top and with an opening large,enough to allow
dog to get in. In this pen he placed the carcass
of one of the sheep and awaited results. Pretty
soon the dogs came back and jumped in the pen
from the top and then could not escape. He took
his own time about killing three of them and says
that 1Spw he is determined to kill every strange
dog found on his place. He says the dogs that
killed his sheep were not regular sheep-killing
dogs, but half starved bird dogs and hounds, whose
owners allow them to roam at will over the country
